I was reviewing the chat thread of my weekly study group, and I hovered over some reactions to see who left them. In most cases the app displayed the name of one of our regular group members, but there were 5 reactions that showed a raw user ID (a bunch of random characters followed by at xmpp.zoom.us) instead of a name.  For context, I'll tell you that the meeting requires a password and users must be logged in. I don't think anyone posted the meeting ID publicly.

This suggests that either 1) there's a bug in the app that sometimes prevents it from retrieving the user's display name, or 2) someone programmatically tried random meeting IDs & passwords until they guessed ours, which allowed them to leave reactions in our team chat. If #2 is correct, then they might keep logging in to it until they discover the meeting in progress, and zoom bomb us.  Which suggests that we should change the meeting ID or expect bombers.

Has anyone else run into these unexplained anonymous reactions in the chat thread? Any suggestions?

UPDATE: I had a group member look at it, and he was able to see the display names instead of the long user ID at xmpp.zoom.us, so I guess it's a problem with my Zoom client retrieving (some, but not all of) the names.

I am experiencing an issue where I cannot view images or photos that I send to my friend, and they are also unable to view the images or photos they send to me in our chat. I've attempted to resolve this problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the app, as well as updating it to the latest version, but the issue persists.

I am using Linux Version 5.13.11.  When I receive a text message via the Team Chat, I never receive an audible alert.

I have to look over at the Zoom app regularly in order to see if I have received a message and this is not practical.

Previous articles about this subject (posted over a year ago) say to check options that no longer exist in the app.

How can we make this happen in the latest versions of Linux?

Thank you!

Has any one here has had issues with adding participants to channels? This worked before, we have tested everything but it keeps saying participant needs to accept request, but even when they do it doesn't add them on??

I came across an online forum of people experiencing the same issue this week.

It has interrupted our business by restricting communication among employees. So no meetings, nothing for the few days. We might have to move from Zoom to something else if this does not get fixed!

Please tell me how to expand all replies in a given chat with a particular team member. I am looking to write the contents of an ongoing-chat with my project leader (since July 2021). I can do that with the save Single File (*.mhtml), but I understand that doing so without having manually expanded the numerous collapsed replies will not record/save the important replies and follow-through dialogue(s) related to particular conversations. It will be tedious to scroll through the two-plus years of daily conversations to find and expand these collapsed replies in order to expand them PRIOR to saving the lengthy dialogue, but it will be necessary to do so.

Can I create a keyboard shortcut to accomplish: comprehensively expanding ALL of the collapsed replies within a chat?

Our district has been using zoom since the pandemic.  Students have signed up with their 'school' email address - and all teachers and staff have a licensed version.  Unfortunately students are now using the zoom chat feature inappropriately and without having to disable or remove zoom from their ipads is there any thing I can do to stop this, or to disable chat?
